LEGANES, SPAIN - At Severo Ochoa hospital in a Madrid suburb badly-hit during the pandemic's first wave, the intensive care unit is once again full and exhausted medics dread a repeat of the same"horror".
Wearing white plastic suits, protective glasses, one or two masks, gloves and plastic shoe covers, the caregivers take turns to enter the unit. "The first wave required a great physical and emotional effort... we're even more tired because we haven't had time to completely recover." Madrid and the surrounding region has been the worst-hit area of Spain, where the virus has so far claimed nearly 34,000 lives.
To try and slow the spread of the virus, a partial lockdown was imposed in early October on the capital and several satellite towns like Leganes. Inside, 61-year-old patient Manuel Collazo Velasco still can't get over how the virus has altered his sense of taste.
